Day and night tour

Chapter 366: Resting for a Thousand Years
Qingfeng was afraid that his own words would not be enough to emphasize the crisis in Mingjiang Mansion, so he gave more details.

"After the Taiping Scale's Dharma Image was shattered, I reassembled the Taiping Scale three times in a row and continued to weigh Mingjiang's safety, but without exception, all the Dharma Images were shattered."

"This is a sign that the great calamity has come to Mingjiang Mansion, so I rushed to find Master without stopping."

Qingfeng said so.

After hearing this, Zhou Xuan thought of the last Son of Diyuan - the fat rat. Before it died, it said that it would give Mingjiang Prefecture a big gift.

I think these words have come true.

"Great gift, what is the great gift?"

Zhou Xuan asked Qing Feng again: "What's the unusual movement of the golden bell in Mingjiang Mansion?"

"Not yet."

"If there is no unusual movement of the Golden Bell, it means it is not an invasion by external enemies." Zhou Xuan thought about it, then he left the Diyuan with Qingfeng and Peng Sheng and began to inspect the Huifeng Medical College.

When the disaster victims saw Zhou Xuan, they all stopped what they were doing and greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Big."

Zhou Xuan waved his hands one by one and at the same time released his perception to sense whether there was any unusual movement around him.

There is no gain,

He raised his head, looked at the sacred eagle circling in the sky, and waved at the eagle.

If the divine eagle saw Zhou Xuan's call, it was the same as if the Panshan Eagle had seen it.

"Wow!"

The cries of the sacred eagles are calling the mountain eagles.

……

On the top of the bell tower, Panshan Eagle heard the cry and immediately took out a handful of black eagle feathers from his cross-body pocket, silently reciting some magic formula.

"A wild goose plucks its feathers when it passes by, an eagle leaves its mark when it passes by, a man becomes an eagle's shadow, and the world follows his shape."

After he threw the black eagle feather into the sky, his body turned into a black shadow and flew towards Zhou Xuan.

……

"Panshan Eagle, meet the great master."

Panshan Eagle tilted its hunched body and tried its best to lean its ears towards Zhou Xuan.

With his hearing ability, he could clearly hear Zhou Xuan's breathing even from dozens of meters away. The reason why he acted like this was because he used to be an eagle slave raised in the bandit camp.

Slaves must always make physical movements to give their masters a psychological hint - I am listening carefully to your orders and dare not miss a single word.

Zhou Xuan asked, "Old Pan, is there any movement in Mingjiang Mansion today?"

"The Condor patrolled and found nothing unusual."

Pan Shanying changed the subject, stood up again, and said to Zhou Xuan: "However, this old servant has noticed something wrong."

"Tell me about it."

Pan Shanying said: "It seems that there are fewer people in Huifeng Medical College."

"you sure?"

"I'm not sure, it's just a feeling." Pan Shanying said.

"Is your feeling accurate?"

Zhou Xuan asked again.

“Usually, it’s pretty accurate.”

Panshanying pointed at his chest and said, "Sir, you know that I, Panshanying, used to be a hostage-taker. I have robbed caravans, large caravans with hundreds or even thousands of people. I can sense even a dog that escaped from the caravan and then send out the Divine Eagle to arrest it."

"Every profession has its own specialties," Zhou Xuan complained.

"I am also a man of the underworld, I have no choice. From now on, I will follow the master, and I will not get involved in any of those crimes, frauds, and deceptions... I have no sympathy with evil."

Panshan should swear directly with his hands raised high.

Zhou Xuan pressed his hand down and said, "Then can you feel where the victims in the medical school are missing? Do you know the approximate area where they are missing?"

"Over 80% of the survivors in the entire Mingjiang Prefecture are concentrated in the medical school. The population is dense and the activity area is bustling. My feelings were diluted as soon as I entered the crowd. I couldn't feel anything too specific."

Peng Sheng heard this and gave Zhou Xuan some advice, saying, "Brother Xuan, there are many people in our Pengjia Town. I will send them out to register every household to see which family is missing someone."

“That doesn’t work.”

Zhou Xuan said: "If there are unexpected missing persons in Mingjiang Prefecture, and these missing persons are caused by bad people, which kind of people will they target first?"

"They will definitely pick some lonely people who have no relatives or friends."

In the Mingjiang Zoroastrian fire disaster, many families were left with only one person, and among these people, there were many who were not sociable. No one else would care about such people even if they died or disappeared.

Relying solely on population registration would be a waste of manpower and material resources, and more importantly, it would cause panic among the people.

"What should we do?"

Peng Sheng asked again.

"Right now, finding the real culprit who caused the disappearance of the Mingjiang victims is not the top priority."

Zhou Xuan said, "The murderer is hiding in the dark. When I flew past Huifeng Medical College with my spirit, I didn't notice anything wrong. Lao Pan's divine eagle didn't notice anything unusual either. He must be hiding deep.

It is not easy to dig it out from the dark, it will take some time, and if he continues to commit crimes during this period of time, more people will go missing. "

"We need to find more eyes to watch him from behind, so that he won't dare to commit crimes again."

Zhou Xuan said.

Pan Shanying felt that he had been pointed out, and thought that Zhou Xuan was blaming him for not supervising properly. He immediately expressed his sincerity and said repeatedly: "Master, I know very well that the task you have ordered is extremely important. I dare not neglect it in the slightest, and I dare not even blink too much..."

"Lao Pan, I didn't click on you."

Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "You have done your best, how could I not know that? But human power is limited, and your divine eagles are not enough after all... I will go find some help. You can go find the painter later and get some mountain delicacies and tonics. When you are working hard, you must also pay attention to your body. Your eagles should also be nourished, so that they will not die of exhaustion in the sky."

If you want the horse to run, it needs to eat more grass.

"Thank you very much, sir."

Pan Shanying's face was full of smiles - in the past, in the bandit camps, if the leader was unhappy, he would take it out on his subordinates. He was not as magnanimous as the great master. If it was your fault, it was your fault. If it was not your fault, don't take the blame.

……

After Zhou Xuan said goodbye to Peng Sheng and Pan Shanying, he returned to Dongshi Street for a day trip. In the backyard of the Old Painting Studio, he found a few yellow foxes looking for food and said, "Do you recognize me, Zhou Xuan?"

Those psychic yellow-skinned creatures might not recognize what Zhou Xuan looked like, but they had all heard of his name. They immediately stood up and nodded continuously.

"Go and inform Huang Xi. I'll be waiting for her at the Old Painting Studio."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he pulled a chair and sat in the backyard.

The Old Painting Studio was protected by the East Market Dragon God during the Zoroastrian fire, and was one of the few buildings on the street that was not burned down.

Zhou Xuan leaned back in his chair, recalling that the first time he met Huang Xi was in the backyard of the old painting studio.

As time goes by, some things never change.

But some things have changed drastically.

Dongshi Street at that time was bustling with activity, but now it is just a pile of broken walls, no different from ruins.

"Duh, duh, duh."

Huang Xi's high heels made crisp sounds as they stepped on the stone bricks, and her figure was still charming.

She swayed her waist and turned to Zhou Xuan in a charming manner: "Oh, at that moment, you were just an inconspicuous owner of a cleaning shop, but now, you have become the savior of Mingjiang Mansion and a great master respected by everyone. Time flies."

"You Huangmen are also fast at running away."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "During the fire disaster in Mingjiang Prefecture, you yellow-skinned people hid really well. Not a single one of you could be seen."

"The abilities of the Huangmen are all in making money and finding people. Going into battle and killing the enemy is not our strong point. In this aspect, we are not as brave as the Fox Clan."

"Since you are good at finding people, I will pick some tasks to find people and ask you Huangmen to help."

Zhou Xuan said, "Your Huangpi people have more people than the survivors in Mingjiang Prefecture, right? I will trade with you for twenty Snow Mountain Palm Ginsengs."

Upon hearing that he was the Snow Mountain Chief Ginseng, Huang Xi was overjoyed, but soon felt disappointed again.

Huangmen's news network was so well-informed that she certainly knew that the Eight Prefectures Fox Clan had sent basket after basket of wild delicacies to Zhou Xuan to express their gratitude, and even sent him such a treasure as the Red Ginseng Boy.

"The eunuchs want to be officials and make money, but they don't know that money is the most precious thing in the secular world. In the incense and fire way, it is like a stone on the road. No matter whether it is big or small, round or square, people passing by will not even look at it. As for being an official... oh... the greatest power in this world is in the hands of those bigwigs in the incense and fire way. Are they officials? They are slaves!"

"Thanks to the great influence of the Great Master, the Fox Clan's King Xishan is about to be included in the Immortal Class, but we, the Yellow Clan, are complacent about having twenty ginseng plants... The Yellow Clan, after all, has no great prospects."

Huang Xi started to feel a little self-pitying, and his expression was not right. Zhou Xuan noticed it, so he asked, "Do you think the price is not right?"

"Oh, it's not that the price is not right, it's just that the palm ginseng is valuable, and twenty plants are too many. If we don't listen to what the master tells us to do, we will definitely not dare to accept it."

Huang Xi hid his little thoughts and turned the conversation back to business.

Zhou Xuan said, "There are evil people hiding deep inside who are harming the people of Mingjiang Prefecture. Their methods are a bit tricky, so I hope to ask you for help. You have many disciples in the Huangmen, and they can be spread to every corner of Huifeng Medical College to act as my eyes."

"It's just to help you guard the house... the bad guys know that our Huangmen disciples are everywhere, so they don't dare to start killing people."

"This is your understanding... I think you understand it correctly."

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "If you agree, I will send the Youshen Division to deliver 20 ginsengs to your house."

"I'm afraid twenty plants are not enough. After all, we need to mobilize so many Huangmen disciples, so the price needs to be raised."

Huang Xi sighed. She was helpless. The Huang family didn't get any big benefits in this situation, but they should get more small benefits.

Opportunities like today's don't come often. "Add ten more."

Zhou Xuan put on his hat and said, "After adding these ten ginsengs, Huangmen will have to do something else and try his best to find the criminal who committed the crime."

The reason why he said "do his best" was that Zhou Xuan believed that the eunuchs had no ability to find the bad guy, but he asked them to help look for him. If they accidentally caught him, it would be a pleasant surprise.

"Master, if you give us such a large sum of money, we will definitely do our best."

Huang Xi agreed immediately.

"Let the people of Huangmen gather as soon as possible."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he went back to the medical school in a trance.

Huang Xi was very sad. The more decisively Zhou Xuan raised the price, the more she lamented that the Huang family had missed the real trend - who would have thought that the young man who had to exchange his tattoo for the leader of a thief hall would rise to the top in such a short time.

During that time, Huang Men did not hold Zhou Xuan's thighs well, so it is no wonder that after Zhou Xuan became a roc, he did not take Huang Men with him to fly.

"Huangmen missed the best opportunity." Huang Xi sighed and said to himself.

……

After returning to Huifeng Medical College, Zhou Xuan went to the pavilion in the back mountain.

The pavilion is now Zhou Xuan's new home.

The fifth senior brothers, Zhao Wuya, Yun Ziliang, and Xiao Fuzi, have already built a luxurious bamboo house outside the pavilion. The house has two floors and is also equipped with bamboo chairs, bamboo stools, and wooden tables.

When Zhou Xuan arrived, everyone was already eating the "whole mountain chicken banquet", which included steamed, boiled and fried chicken, and the fragrance was so delicious that passers-by would stumble.

"Dinner is ready so early?"

Zhou Xuan sat at the wooden table on the first floor, looking at the bamboo house with good lighting, and praised: "Fifth Brother, you are quite skilled. You bought us a new home so quickly?"

The fifth brother was sweating profusely. He scooped up the cold water from the pottery jar with a ladle and drank three big mouthfuls in a row. He stopped and said, "Yazi also helped a lot. I finally made a discovery today."

"What did you find?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"That Yazi...even though he bickers all the time, he's really good at his job."

“It’s like someone is praising me.”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Just as they were talking about Zhao Wuya, there was a sound of a black donkey outside the house, and then Zhao Wuya appeared, carrying a bamboo box on his shoulders. He put the box on the ground, and there was a clanging sound from inside the box.

"What's in the box? Are you moving it home?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"The supplies we received are all treasures."

Zhao Wuya opened the box and took out wine, soda, rice, noodles, grain, and oil. He also took out a beautifully packaged box and threw it to Xiao Fuzi: "Fuzi, eat."

"What?" Xiao Fuzi asked.

"chocolate."

Zhao Wuya opened a jar of wine, poured three bowls, and poured one bowl each for Zhou Xuan and Fifth Senior Brother.

"What kind of water do you want to drink? Is the water forty degrees? Drink some."

Zhao Wuya drank a big bowl of wine first. The wine was so fragrant that it woke up Yun Ziliang who was dozing off on the second floor.

"You beast, you didn't even call your grandmaster grandpa when you were drinking."

Yun Ziliang went downstairs and poured a bowl as well.

So, everyone in the room drank as they should, ate chocolate as they should, and lived a very fulfilling life.

Zhou Xuan said with a smile, "I can see that the Mingjiang Mansion needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible. Look at you guys. Except for Fifth Brother who has found work for you guys, you guys have all started to take care of your health. Old Yun sleeps all day long. If I don't find something for you guys to do, you guys will become depressed."

"Is that because we are depressed? There are so many people in the medical school, who wouldn't be depressed?"

Zhao Wuya said: "Everyone has food to eat and wine to drink, but nothing to do. They either chat or stroll around."

"I also heard people say that this disaster turned into a blessing."

Lü Mingkun also said thoughtfully, "Auntie Liu, who used to sell vegetables on Dongshi Street, was chatting with people today. She said that they didn't know how many lifetimes they had cultivated to get such blessings. The Eagle God stood guard for them, the Fox Fairy brought them meat, and the Yellow Fairy took their beatings for their entertainment. They had the three great fairies serving them together. What a blessing it was."

Zhou Xuan: “…”

"puff!"

Zhou Xuan spit out a mouthful of wine and quickly patted Zhao Wuya on the shoulder: "Ya Zi, go."

"Why?"

"Tell the disciples of the Gu Lao Hui and Cheng Huang to use the loudspeaker to inform me that the yellow-skinned people are the ones I called to guard our house and stand guard. They cannot be beaten at random."

"Then I had to hurry. When I came back with the supplies, I saw that several yellow foxes had been killed."

Zhao Wuya put down his wine bowl, went outside, and rode his black donkey.

The people in the room continued chatting.
Zhou Xuan said to Yun Ziliang, "Old Yun, let me show you something good."

"What?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"Look at this."

Zhou Xuan pointed his right hand at the palm of his left hand, and a tortoise shell emerged from his sleeve and stuck to his palm.

"The turtle shell of Dunjia?"

Yun Ziliang stretched out his hand and tried to grab the tortoise shell, which kept shaking and struggling.

He immediately realized that the tortoise shell was extremely agile, so he changed his posture and carefully held it in his hand to look at it.

When he turned the tortoise shell over, he saw a miniature folding fan, bone teeth, and a wake-up stick on the back of the tortoise shell. He immediately asked, "Where did this tortoise shell come from?"

"Have you heard of this guy named Gui Qiansui? He dug out a piece of bone from between his eyebrows and gave it to me."

"You've earned it, kid."

Yun Ziliang said: "In this tortoise shell, there are the cultivation methods hidden by the old tortoise. He probably has eight incense sticks of knowledge."

"I came back to comprehend this art. Something strange happened in Huifeng Medical College. The Panshan Eagle sensed that someone was missing, but my perception and that of his divine eagle could not detect any anomalies. I thought, after comprehending the tortoise shell and learning the skill of Dunjia, I can do a deduction and see if I can deduce the villain."

Zhou Xuan spoke in plain language for a while, and Yun Ziliang immediately urged him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and comprehend it."

"I haven't eaten yet."

"What to eat, the state is the first."

"I asked a disciple from the Huang Sect to keep an eye on it."

"That won't do either. Go and get your mind back. It's already this late and you're still eating."

Zhou Xuan: “…”

……

In order to speed up Zhou Xuan's understanding, Xiao Fuzi prepared a meal for him in advance.

Zhou Xuan ate a bowl of rice, covered with two braised pheasant legs, some vegetables, and a spoonful of sauce, and enjoyed it very much.

Eat and drink

Zhou Xuan went up to the second floor.

There is a large bunk bed on the second floor. All the floor space is covered with bedding, so you can just lie down and sleep.

Zhou Xuan lay down comfortably and activated the Kongming Mirror.

A mirror suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Xuan.

The mirror world unfolds,

Zhou Xuan became the supreme will of the world in the mirror again. The tortoise shell, like a swimming fish, flew out from Zhou Xuan's sleeve. It first timidly familiarized itself with the world in the mirror. After confirming that it was a safe area, it began to swim and tumble in this vast world.

As the tortoise swam freely and unrestrainedly, Zhou Xuan figured out something - the tortoise's swimming route was not random, and after swimming, it would leave green traces.

These traces formed a series of strange runes.

After the first four runes hit Zhou Xuan's body, he was able to comprehend some methods from the broken rune light spots.

These methods are the first four incense sticks of methods of the Dunjia "Fortune Teller", most of which are small tricks that use tortoise shells to tell fortunes and predict the approximate good or bad luck.

If I have to say what is better than those street fortune-telling stalls, it is probably that the calculations are more accurate.

but,

The methods used in the "Dunjia" hall became different after the fifth incense stick.

The fifth stick of incense is called "Turtle Breath for a Thousand Years" - hold your breath and concentrate your mind, enter a state of emptiness and clarity, restrain your incense and perception, but be able to move freely.

The world around him seemed to have become a silent expanse of water, and the surrounding sounds were amplified, similar to the state when Zhou Xuan released all his perception.

"The method of Turtle Breathing for a Thousand Years can gather the energy of the whole body, like a moving stone."

Zhou Xuan recalled that the strange ghost "Human Ao" he had seen before also had a similar method. The old turtle entered a state of meditation, but after that, it really turned into stone and could not move. It could only stay where it was.

After restraining the breath, the key is whether you can move. If you can't move, you are just a stone. If you can move, then you are an invisible person.

Zhou Xuan thought: "I have the skills of changing shapes and traveling by spirit, which can drive me to the highest speed in the world and get close to anyone... Combined with my thousand-year-long breathing... Wow... I am probably more suitable for assassination than Mr. Feng."

He thought the "Thousand Years of Turtle Breathing" technique was a kind of assassination technique, but when the next three runes hit Zhou Xuan's body, he realized that the Turtle Breathing technique was the most important method in the "Master's Way" of Dunjia.

It is the cornerstone of Dunjia Calculation...
